Novell Continues Linux Push, Buys SUSE
from the gotta-do-something dept
Well, just about everyone is discussing this story this morning, so just a quick note on the news that Novell has bought SUSE Linux just a few months after buying Ximian. Connecting the two very obvious dots isn't particularly difficult (which also makes the third "anti-SCO" dot a little more understandable). The deal also includes an investment from IBM, of which much will probably be spent fending off angry SCO lawyers.

Wow
I just hope that the Novell kiss of death doesn't affect SUSE. - Everything that Novell purchases tends to die out - (i.e. wordperfect, DRDos)

What is enterprise
This is something I've never figured out: What is an enterprise-class solution? Is enterprise just a code-word for any computer solution in the $20K+ range? Anyone got a good (non-trekky) definition for 'enterprise'?

Suits love support.
This is the problem with Fedora - no support means you have to by RedHat Enterprise. At least old "free" RedHat Linux had up2date/RHN.
